Description
The Manor House is a late 18th-century country house that underwent modifications and gained a third storey in 1832. It has rendered walls and a hipped slate roof with stacks in various locations. The building is three storeys high with a semi-basement and features a symmetrical east front with five bays. The sash windows have glazing bars and are set within moulded stone architraves. The central window on the first floor is a Palladian style, and there is a cornice above the first-floor windows. A projecting porch with a balustraded parapet leads to the entrance, which is approached by curved double flights of stone steps with iron balustrades. The other facades include 19th-century bow windows and some reset 17th-century stone mullioned windows in the semi-basement.
Inside, there is an open string staircase with a moulded mahogany handrail and reeded cast iron balusters with volute capitals, along with an octagonal newel post featuring palm-leaf capitals. The principal rooms are adorned with moulded and enriched cornices, and the chimney piece on the second floor has a frieze decorated with a human mask and flower swags.
